After helping Paris Saint-Germain win over Manchester United 2-0 in the final of the International Champions Cup, football legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic dropped a big hint regarding his next home.

Ibrahimovic, who enters the final year of his contract with the French football powerhouse, admitted that he may have already played his last match with PSG. He added that he will make a big announcement this coming week, and it likely deals about where he will end up next.

"It may have been the last game of my career at PSG," Ibrahimovic told reporters via Fourfourtwo.com. "This week I need to make an important decision. Where I go next, it will be a surprise, a very big surprise. I'm very happy at PSG. You don't see that on the field?"

"I have another year on my contract with PSG and I am very happy. Things are getting better. We are a strong team, we can do much more than we have been doing so at the moment but I am very happy."

The Swedish international has been linked to potential move to Manchester United, AC Milan and Turkish football giant Galatasaray. There are also reports that the prolific goal-scorer might end up with an MLS team.

According to ESPN FC reporter David Amoyal, there's a 40 percent chance Ibrahimovic will follow Andrea Pirlo (New York City FC), Kaka (Orlando City FC), Frank Lampard (New York City FC) and Didier Drogba (Montreal Impact) in the list of European football legends who have taken their talent across the Atlantic.

"Next summer, as a 34-year-old free agent, a move to MLS is a distinct possibility. Ibrahimovic has seen Kaka and Andrea Pirlo swap sides of the Atlantic and the Swede fits the profile of the type of player MLS is seeking," according to ESPN FC.
